Hiring representation (i.e. a real estate agent) when you sell a property is a no-brainer for most people. But what about hiring representation when you’re looking to buy or lease? Who’s working for you? If you contact a typical commercial real estate agent, they’re working for the landlord or owner. How does that help you? It doesn’t. But Omni Realty Group is different. We work for you, and make it our business to get you the best deal.
Hiring a buyer’s agent or tenant rep is not required by law in Pennsylvania, but I always recommend it. Purchasing a property or leasing office space is a huge financial commitment. Having a buyer’s agent or tenant rep on your side can provide the expertise you need to find the ideal property and negotiate the best possible price.
They can help you understand real estate and legal jargon in lease and property contracts, which can be confusing. This helps to ensure you aren’t agreeing to terms you don’t fully understand or that you don’t overlook anything that could turn into an unwelcome surprise. All discussions with the agent are also confidential.
Our tenant representation and buyer agency services are completely free to you. Here’s how it works. Owners/landlords hire real estate agents to sell or lease their properties. We are simply paid a portion of that fee. There’s nothing extra you have to pay.
We provide buyer’s agency and tenant rep services at Omni Realty, and we pride ourselves on providing highly personalized service. Our philosophy is to take on fewer transactions so that we can spend more time on each individual deal and get the best deal for each of our clients. We strive to exceed our customers’ expectations by accepting nothing less than the highest level of performance.
So when debating whether or not to hire buyer’s representation, consider this: The seller or landlord likely has an agent on their side ensuring their best interests are met, why shouldn’t you have the same on your side of the table? You wouldn’t enter a large contract for a business deal without consulting a lawyer, so it makes sense to have an expert on your side when making other big decisions such as purchasing or leasing property?
